MOUNTING THE THERMOSTATS

MOUNTING THE THERMOSTATS

The thermostats must be mounted on an interior centrally located wall. Place them away from direct sunlight, drafts, and approximately 5 feet above the floor. It is not required that they be level. Place them right next to each other. See Fig. 17.

Two Honeywell digital thermostats are furnished with all multi-fuel furnaces. The larger thermostat controls your gas, oil or electric, whichever back-up fuel you have. It offers one temperature setting for

when you want the burner to start. This is in the event your wood supply is inadequate in keeping your home at its temperature setting. It also has a night setback feature that allows you to keep lower temperatures at desired times. This thermostat also controls the air conditioning, if applicable.

The smaller thermostat controls the wood/coal room temperature. It does not have a night setback feature.

If you have no plans for air conditioning you will need a 3-wire thermostat cable from your furnace to your thermostat. If you intend to install air conditioning a 5-wire thermostat cable is required.

TYPICAL THERMOSTAT SETTINGS

Place 3 or 4 8” diameter logs into wood chamber. Set wood thermostat 5 degrees above room temperature. Set oil/gas thermostat 10 degrees above room temperature. Burner will then ignite and start the wood burning. When wood is adequately burning, reset gas/oil thermostat to 5 degrees below desired room temperature. Set wood thermostat to desired wood temperature. With the proper amount of wood in the firebox, the wood thermostat will keep the room temperature at the wood thermostat setting. When the wood is no longer able to keep up with the heating demands of your home and the temperature falls to the oil/gas thermostat setting, the burner will come on until that thermostat is satisfied.
